Bern/Lucerne to Appenzell, stopover suggestions
-
We are planning 8 days in Switzerland with our 18-year-old son in August. We’ll focus on hiking most of the time and want to get a good overview of the country, especially the Alps. So far this is our plan:
Monday: Arrive Geneva late evening and stay at an airport hotel.
Tuesday: Visit Chillon Castle (via train or boat), and then ride train to Lauterbrunnen
Tuesday-Saturday: Four nights in Murren and hiking
Saturday: Train to either Lucerne or Bern for a one-night stopover and quick explore
Sunday-Tuesday: Train to Appenzell for two nights stay and one-day hiking
Tuesday: Train to Zurich and fly home
My question is if anyone has any suggestions for a good stopover on the way to Appenzell? I’m trying to avoid long days of train travel. I chose either Bern or Lucerne, but is there a better stopover I haven’t thought of? Is Bern or Lucerne better for an afternoon to explore? Any suggestions are appreciated. I’m now reading about the various rail passes to determine which is the best for our route!
